Clippers leading scorer Norman Powell to miss third game

Norman Powell shoots

Los Angeles Clippers leading scorer Norman Powell has been ruled out of Sunday’s road game against the Philadelphia 76ers with a left hamstring strain.

Powell, who has averaged 23.3 points over 15 games this season, was injured in the first quarter of a 102-99 victory against the Golden State Warriors on Monday. He finished the game and scored a team-best 23 points.

The Clippers not only won each of the two games Powell has missed, they open a four-game road swing Sunday on a four-game winning streak.

In 10 NBA seasons, Powell has averaged 12.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 572 career games (214 starts). He was thrust into a primary scoring role this season after the departure of Paul George to the 76ers and a chronic knee condition for Kawhi Leonard, that has prevented the six-time All-Star from playing a game this season.

Leonard also has been ruled out for Sunday’s game amid his continued recovery.
